Fatiha puts some balloons in a tube

Before the task brief is read, Alex claims to be “good at jumping”, while mimicking Fatiha’s stepping from one foot to the other, during the ‘Give Alex exactly 100 marbles on a plate, and an egg cup full of tepid water’ task, earlier in the episode. When Greg points out to Fatiha that “he’s having a pop at you”, Fatiha responds by asking “And you’re gonna let him chat to your woman like that?”, referencing her claim during the ‘Achieve a really tricky thing after commentating on the achievement’ task that she and Greg were going to get married.

As the contestants pick their items for the first part of the task, Fatiha loudly complains that she doesn’t understand what’s happening, leading Stevie, Greg, and then Rosie to shout at her in frustration. She also states that she doesn’t want the balloons, but ends up taking them anyway, before making Jason swap with her.

She ends up with the aluminium foil on the left-hand side of her table, and the sleeping bag on the right-hand side.

After the second task brief is read out, Alex breaks the news to Fatiha that she’s now going to end up with the balloons anyway, as Jason will be passing them back to her.

Fatiha gives her aluminium foil to Jason, and receives the tubing from Stevie. She then takes the balloons back from Jason, and gives her sleeping bag to Stevie. She is therefore left with the balloons and the tubing.

After the third task brief is read, Fatiha seems completely at a loss about how she could possibly get one of the items inside the other, and has to be instructed that she will need to burst the balloons. She requests a pin to burst the balloons, and Alex gives her his pen for the purpose. She is eventually able to burst the balloons and stuff them inside the tubing, finishing fourth and earning 2 points.
